Twitter has been rolling out support for hashtags in regional languages in India. A few days ago, ‘Jayahind’ was the first Hindi hashtag to trend on Twitter and today (17th Feb), Baahubali had the honour of putting out the first official hashtag in Telugu.

The tag #బాహుబలివస్తున్నాడు (Baahubali is coming) was first posted by director S.S. Rajamouli and it was picked up by fans. It trended in Hyderabad as well as India. “I was told that #బాహుబలివస్తున్నాడు is the first Telugu hashtag and that From now we can hashtag in Telugu…Feels good…:)”, he tweeted.

S.S.R also requested fans to bear with the delay in announcing release dates of the trailer, audio launch as well as the theatrical release. “Prabhas fans hav been really patient for a long time now. I truly appreciate. As we are nearing completion, there are so many details that Needs to be taken care of and we are not finding enough time to schedule trailer release, audio Release etc. Pls bear with us a little longer. As we sort things out we will let you know first. Thank you”, he said, in a series of tweets.

Currently, a song is being shot on Prabhas and Tamannah at a beautiful set in Ramoji Film City. The first part of ‘Baahubali’ is going to hit the screens this summer.
